I’m looking forward to that. I think he and Chris Hardwick will be a blast together.

“resulting the transmission of the disease”

Up thread I said the person one eats needs to not be sick. Remember in the black death across Europe, the bodies were burned because the bacteria was still in those bodies. I'd say, if at all possible, check the health records of a person before you eat him/her. The cannibals my son filmed have been eating their enemies for many years and I would expect they wouldn't continue that if it killed them. He has made numerous films of various tribes and I think the cannibal one is also the one who wear penis gourds. One would think that would hinder their movements but it doesn't.

Thanks, Shimmer1.

It looks good. I just re-read “1776” by David McCullough and highly recommend it.

[Shimmer1]

There’s some dark meat in there too

[Lazamataz]

I’m beginning to think we are not the couple I thought we were. Are you dumping me after “all those years back”? Ah, I remember how it was with us. Rejection is a bitch with which to deal.

Ok, we are having a 'tiff'.

And I know how to smooth it over.

Let's hit it.

[Lazamataz]

WAYSIS

[Lazamataz]

Vaults the wall?? Seriously, Laz, if you’re going to get so unreal about all this you might as well not post about it. I mean, we all know she’ll use a trampoline she found in a nearby yard. Jeez.

I didn't mention HOW Judith vaulted the walls. The trampoline is unrealistic. She actually fires an RPG into the ground, and harnessing the kinetic energy of the explosion, launches herself into the air.... thus, scaling the walls.

[CodeToad]

Yeah, this is why I’m not a writer, no real imagination.

[Hot Tabasco]

After a season that has lost many disappointed viewers,

LOL! What a numbskull, this is the highest watched series on TV........

And as a side note to the stupid author, that was NOT a hearse that Beth was last seen in........

[Truth29]

Nor was it a street car that Rick and company were herded into. Makes you wonder if the author actually watched the episode.

[Shimmer1]

My son got a job on the set of Vampire Diaries. How I wish he was working on TWD set, so I could get inside information on the show!!!!!

[Hot Tabasco]

Makes you wonder if the author actually watched the episode.

Certainly not like WE do.........he needs to be put on the Ping list so he can keep up with what's going on with the show........

[Shimmer1]

I have Sunday night all blocked out for TV watching, friends trained not to call me, etc.... Might as well stick to it.

[Dan Cooper]

Ritualistically eating your fallen enemies probably wouldn't happen very often (unless you were especially war-like, not the impression I get from Papua New Guinea), but eating the dead from your own group would probably be a more frequent occurrence. Once the disease occurs in a group, it would be likely to intensify if it was spread every time someone dies and was eaten. If a group primarily subsists on human flesh, there would be a high likelihood of disease since their food carries pathogens that are exactly suited to infect humans.

It sounds like your son has had some interesting travels.

[ConjunctionJunction]

I still wonder if the food might have been drugged. If the Terminus folks let people keep their weapons, then that would make them feel more comfortable and let their guard down. If the food they offer to the newcomers is drugged, then they can capture the newcomers without a fight. The “A” path where they herded them to the train car might be the backup plan for anyone who doesn’t eat the drugged food.

[ConjunctionJunction]

I could be wrong, but I don’t think Carol and Tyreese have made it to Terminus yet. We didn’t see them with Glenn and Abraham’s group going in to Terminus, and we didn’t see them inside the train car, so maybe they’re still out there.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Falling Skies needs more episodes per season.

And they need a reliable protocol to weed out the traitors. Trust no one.

[ConjunctionJunction]

Sasha is Tyreese's sister. It looks like Sasha and Bob (the medic) might become girlfriend/boyfriend.

So, in the first group to arrive at Terminus we have:

Abraham, Eugene, Rosita, Sasha, Maggie, Bob, Glenn, and Tara:

We haven't seen Tyreese, Carol, or Beth at Terminus yet.

[ConjunctionJunction]

Lizzie killed her sister, Mika. Carol killed Lizzie.
